About Michelle: If one's reading taste was a map, mine would have so many scattered pins. I love genre fiction--fantasy, mystery, and the rest--and young adult fiction. Also: graphic novels and lots of them, and non-fiction on whatever topic snags my attention.Series: Michelle Recommends

About Jim: There is so much stuff I like I can't keep it all straight (or get to it all). History and Historical Fiction are my stand-bys. I also love spy novels (ala La Carre not Flemming. Although I adore neat gadgets). Can't seem to get enough YA/Adult fantasy and sci fi (its all about the world for me). Oh and lets not forget my growing graphic novel obsession. So to sum up: Jim + author who writes YA Historical Spy Fantasy with a really cool world and lots of gadgets (turn that into a graphic novel) = Jim never leaves his house ever again.Series: Jim Recommends

About Jen: I like to keep my reading light and upbeat. Few tears, little violence, lots to learn and plenty to make me laugh. Expect to find a mix of magic realism, humor, history, popular culture, biography and some occasional
trashy gossip!Series: Jen Recommends
